Abstract

Application of silvo-pastoral and mixed grazing systems to domestic herbivores, and the management of wild herbivores, requires an improved understanding of their nutrition. The great diversity of forages and browses results in a wide range of intakes and digestibilities by the animal. Antinutritive secondary compounds can also affect quality. Thus, an overall evaluation of forages and browses needs an integration of measurements of these factors.
